Welcome, Baby Haylee! + September 2016 in Review

Moving right along, yeah? Yeah! September was a pretty quiet month on the photography front, with one shoot and one adventure, for the most part. Let's get the party started with the adorable newborn that is Haylee. I can't believe it's almost time for her next shoot!

... And of course Emma had to get in on the photoshoot action. And of course I couldn't resist her charms! :) Big sis just wanted to read her little sis a book and jump and play!

And since I never got a proper ring shot at the wedding (it was my first one after all! Many moons ago...), we took a few with the wee baby toes. :)

Ok! Next, just a few iPhone photos that made their way primetime this month. Definite "COME BACK HERE, SUMMER!!" vibes and design:

Last, I went on a little trip to LA to check out the Hammer Museum with my Lady Tribe. The last of the Summer 2016 adventures; here's the video in case you missed it:

Just a handful of adventures from Summer, 2016. We've got a micro 4th of July in Palm Springs adventure, a lifestyle shoot with the gorgeous Laura, a trip to the Hammer Museum with the squad, and a small afternoon on the Santa Monica Pier. Enjoy, friends! Song: Lonely Cities by Tigertown

Although there was a show going on preventing us from checking out the rest of the already pretty small Hammer (it was a pretty awesome show!), we managed to see the following art... And I made my own commentary art on the blending of time and culture with the native dress + iPhone usage...

August 2016 in Review! + Lifestyle Sesh with Laura

Whew! Finally closing the August chapter as far as photography goes. Now I'll only be 7 months behind ;) Here's a peek at the fun the summer brought, first stop: Summer adventure vid!

Just a couple iPhone photos from the month, before we move on to the gorgeous Laura!

I've known Laura nearly my entire life. In addition to being an absolute STUNNER (!!!), she is one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet. She's got talent to boot! She does makeup and styling too <3 I can't wait to work with her again. Check her out below. First, quick shoutout to these amazing trees that were in bloom while we were exploring Mt. Baldy!

And there you have it! August 2016 is a wrap! <3

July 2016 in Review

Alright, I know, I'm far behind. It's nearly 2017 and here I am, posting July... Oh well. #lifegoals to get caught up. ;) Here's a wee look at a few things I did in July. PS--there's no June in review, since I fell off the face of the earth that month I guess. Ha!

For your listening pleasure. I do these mixes once every few seasons. I'm such an audiophile though that I may start having to do them seasonally... Feel free to follow them on Spotify--they encompass mostly new music that catches my ear, but the occasional throwback too. And generally, the songs are in no particular order... So feel free to hit shuffle and be on witcha bad self.

I took a less-than-24-hour trip out to Palm Springs for 4th of July with my mans, as the kids call SOs these days. Didn't make it to the fireworks, we were too tired from our revelry at the Hard Rock Cafe, but they had the lobby dressed to the NINES.

I love the USA.

That there was straight-to-Instagram fodder. Here are a few snaps from our perusal of downtown Palm Springs.

I really liked those stairs. One of the many midcentury modern buildings in Palm Springs. <3

Anyway, this month I also took my first foray into food photography. I took some pics for a friend's family business, called Cali Waffle. Dude, it was so hard not to eat all the samples. It was like 8am so, ice cream waffles and what not wasn't really what I shoulda been noshing on.

mmmm.
